MANN FIRST

AT ALBANY

Another Mighty Mustang wrestler, third-grader Hudson Mann, wrestled Saturday in the south state youth wrestling tournament in Albany and finished first in the 91-97-pound weight class after recording two first-round pins over opponents from Anoka and Lakeville.

Prior to the north state meet April 12 in Grand Rapids, the Mighty Mustangs will join forces with a team from North Woods in a dual meet North Woods is hosting to wrestle against a team from Virginia as part of the second annual North Woods Jamboree on April 5.
